Conundrum

Why is heartbreak so hard to deal with?

Recommended Posts

I mean really? What is it about having someone tell you they don't want to be with you anymore, that makes it feel like they've stuck a knife in your chest and carved "fuck you" into your heart? Moving on is easier said than done, especially when you don't even want to in the first place.

This has been one of the worst months of my life, I'm glad tomorrow is the last day of it.

my friend, heartbreak is hard to deal with because of the rejection, the seperation and the downright dirty nature of it, as we talk about this I have not yet mentioned that i am still just recovering from heartbreak of the relationship that ended two years ago. I however have hope, that the girl that will love me, is still out there, that this world has enough good in it, to heal my heart more then to break it and I Know this to be the truth for me and Chelle, for you too.:)

Ahh, what a wonderful world.

I think its b/c we need to wanted and loved by someone, and when that person tucks tail and runs we often blame our selves for being good enough or what have you. Some of it is also probly the desire to put your foot swiftly against his sack and laugh at him. but please don't do that b/c I imagine its a pain worse that child birth.

I don't know. All I can say is I know how you feel and it sucks. Nothing really seems to make it better, although time makes it hurt less.....

It makes you feel like there is something wrong with you even
when there isnt.
Rejection is very hard on the ego.

You are beautiful. I've seen your photo.
You will eventually find someone else, probably someone better suited, once your heart is ready to risk being broken again.

Thats the paradox of love :)

Heart break is probably the worst feeling on earth, but unfortunatly a by product of our constent need to not feel alone. Unfortunatly 99% of the time there always is one person that doesnt want to move on, but at some point u do have to step back and look at what the situation would be like if the other person held on unwillingly because there mate wasnt ready to move on. Know that u have ur friends, that will be there for you, and seek ur need for campanionship with them, until you are able to relize u are better off finding someone that wants to be with u, and u will be much happier for it. I'm sorry this month has not been good, but it really is only a short time in the scope of ur life, and soon if u look to all the positives in ur life, you should be able to forget the wrongs that happened to u in this month, and see it as not even a minor bump in the road. :)

Chelle,
Heartbreak hurts and time is the only cure. Right now there isn't much anybody can do or say to ease it. Take comfort in your friends and remember that the big "fuck you" carving on your heart will make you a better, stronger person than you already are!

Chin up, go have fun!:)

Chelle, My estemate on the broken heart is one day for every month togather, originally it was one week but I have no time for bull shit. so one day it is.


Go out and put as manyGOOD TIMES between you and that relationship as possible. and soon enough the day is brighter. lets NOT FORGET, moving on means learning the lesson of the previous relationship and GROWING as a person.

Besides your HOTTATA His loss.

There will be much worse ones. And thankfully many better ones. Just make sure you check this thread in one year, when everything will seem so... remote.:)

It sucks. It really really really sucks. I think being on either side of break up really really really sucks...especially if there's any uncertainty.

Everything that goes along with a break up just sucks. Plans that you had for future events...even things like going to a concert or going away for a weekend. That all sucks. Hearing "you could do better," SUCKS! I hate it when people say things like that. You don't want to hear someone else talk bad about someone you're in love with. And are they implying that you were stupid for so long because you were with someone that you could've done better than? Breaking up when there are still feelings just sucks.

So, sorry to hear you're having a rough time. [:/] Let yourself cry and feel upset. There's nothing wrong with that. Try to discover something "new" about yourself.

it hurts because, instead of just realizing that things didn't work out and it's not your fault and not his fault, in a break-up, we tend to see it as the other person rejecting ourselves, because when we fall in love, we make a deep emotional investment in the other person, which makes it very hard to see things clearly.

It didn't work out. That's okay. Not your fault, not his fault. You're just two different people, and it's okay that you're not compatable. It's hard to see sometimes, but that's pretty much always the case.

(((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))

Let me know if you need someone to talk to... trust me, I've been there.

Oh no...many many times, someone is "at fault." From my last relationship, I learned that there were things that I did "wrong." I'm not saying that this is the case, but it is in MANY cases.

Chelle,

Sorry for your pain. It sounds like you loved him, and even with the pain of this rejection, the growth that you had while loving him is still worth the sorrow. With each person that you allow deeper to your heart, you grow and learn from - not just about him/her but also about you. Your dreams, desires, percetions of life all change with the new view that person might bring. It might mean that your heart will get broke and the time to heal might feel like forever, but it truly is better to have a scarred mended heart than to have a perfectly smooth unmarred and unfeeling heart.
Take this time to cry, to question and to be angry. Yell at the moon, drink a shot or two, but let the sun rise and fall... with time the wounds do heal.
{{{hugs}}}

To quote a heartbreak specialist:

i guess time has a way of making everything alright
it's just there is not enough of it
and so we drink and we sing and we celebrate
this lie and hope that it will last
morning is here night has passed

i guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable
and the days seem dark and long
but we cry and we dance
and we stumble into love with perfect, awkward grace
the moon is gone and the sun has took its place

Why is heartbreak so hard to deal with? Because usually feelings cannot be rationalized.

We can rationalize a number of bad things that happen to us. But feelings are rational. Heck, for most of my breakups I was half brokenhearted and half relieved. But the relief doesn't balance out the loss.

Once we are able to rationalize things, they become easier to handle. Like a 12 step program. But those don't work for heartbreak.

All you can do is let it hurt well and good, and learn something about yourself from it.

Look in a mirror and see the person in it. Does that bautiful lady in the glass look like you feel? Would you look at that lady in the glass and say, "That guy blew it?"

You should look in a mirror, Chelle. Then you should act like all of us when we see you. That is, look at yourself and smile.:)

Because LOVE is a felling and feelings can't be turned on or off like a light switch. You can always say NEVER AGAIN but eventually you may change you rmind about that too simply because it is inherent for most of us as humans to feel the need to be with someone.

It is hard when you don't know WHY that person broke up with you but realize at that point that it is their problem and they ar the one that realistically has a problem not necessarily you even though there may be things that you could change too.

Many hugs and know that there will be good days and bad day in life. PM me if you need to talk.

I had a post in womens asking what love is to people and someone responded that it was getting a glimpse of heaven. So my response was then that heartbreak must be like a glimpse of hell. So taking that into account, would we appreciate the "heaven" if we had never seen of felt the "hell"? I don't think we would. And josh...that is by far the best song ever and like you said, I cannot wait to look whoever I marry in the eyes and say that to him.
